Shakespeare and Contemporary Fiction

Meer over het boek

By utilizing contemporary novels as a lens, Barbara L. Estrin offers a fresh perspective on Shakespeare, revealing how modern narratives reshape our understanding of classic themes. She explores the animus against foreign blood within the context of foundling and lyric plots, demonstrating how late modern writers alter these narratives. This reverse reading not only reinterprets Shakespeare but also prompts readers to engage with new interpretations that challenge conventional literary classifications and propose innovative paradigms.
